They are viewing what happened 60-65 million years ago. That's how long it took for the light from earth to get to them.

The images that they are seeing happened that long ago. If you were to turn on and turn off a light, it would take 60 million years for that flash to reach them.

The Narcisse Snake Dens in Manitoba have more snakes in a concentrated area than anywhere else in the world. Tens of thousands of red-sided garter snakes gather there every year. On the other hand, there are no snakes on the island of Newfoundland.
